PAMEA announces the appointment of Dr. Eng. Daniel Amariei as Special Advisor to the China–CEEC Modern Agricultural Science and Education Innovation Alliance and the Agriculture and Life Sciences Sub-Consortium of the China–CEEC Higher Education Institutions Consortium. The appointment is effective from 30 October 2026 to 30 October 2029, as confirmed by the letter issued under the names and seals of the Alliance and Shandong Agricultural University.
The role calls on Dr. Amariei to provide guidance and support for cooperation between these networks and universities, research institutions and enterprises in Austria. The stated fields are agriculture and life sciences. Potential activities include academic exchanges, joint training, applied research discussions and the sharing of experience between institutions.
For PAMEA, the appointment provides another channel for exploring cooperation with Chinese academic and agricultural organisations. It could help identify partners for joint educational activities, comparative agricultural case studies and future research or training proposals. Any such activities would require separate discussions, partner decisions and, where relevant, programme eligibility checks.
The AGRITECH project is one possible area for cooperation. PAMEA serves as AGRITECH Co-coordinator and Communication Manager and leads Work Package 2, Innovative Learning Environment, and Work Package 6, Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation. AGRITECH’s training modules, digital learning materials and European Knowledge Hubs could support exchanges with Shandong Agricultural University on smart agriculture skills and teaching methods. A first joint activity could compare European and Chinese farm cases, then assess the usefulness of adapted learning tasks.
The appointment is a personal advisory role. It does not establish a formal PAMEA–SDAU agreement or an AGRITECH pilot. Practical next steps would be to appoint contact persons, select a shared topic and agree on the terms of any proposed activity. PAMEA will continue discussions with the relevant institutions on opportunities that have clear responsibilities and deliverable results.Further information: www.pamea.eu | www.agritech-project.eu
